Introduction

What is EcoSystem®?

EcoSystem lighting control systems are capable of controlling

various lighting sources through automated and manual dimming.

The automatic light controls include motion sensors and daylight

sensors, which monitor a space and appropriately adjust the light to

avoid wasted energy and improve the work environment. The

manual controls of the system include wall dimmers and handheld

remote controls, which allow personal interaction with the lighting by

the people in the space. EcoSystem can also work together with the

security, HVAC, and other building management systems to provide

the appropriate lighting for every situation.

The EcoSystem® Bus

EcoSystem ballasts can be connected to one another to create a

system of up to 64 ballasts. Any infrared (IR) receiver, sensor, or wall

control connected to a ballast can communicate with any or all

fixtures on the bus. Subsystems, called groups, are configured and

programmed using the handheld programmer.

Systems using more than one EcoSystem ballast, or ballast module,

require an EcoSystem bus power supply. This component powers

the communication bus between devices, and is capable of

supporting up to 64 ballasts or ballast modules, 32 occupant

sensors, 64 wall controls or infrared (IR) receivers, and 16 daylight

sensors.

EcoSystem® Programming

EcoSystem is programmed using the handheld EcoSystem

programmer. Using a stylus, users make onscreen selections and

transmit programming instructions via infrared, similar to a TV remote.

4 EcoSystem® Programmer

Transmitting to Control Devices with IR Receivers

Programming information is transmitted wirelessly from the

EcoSystem programmer to any sensor or control with an integrated

IR receiver. When programming, stand within 8 feet (2.4 meters) of

the sensor or control and point the top of the programmer directly at

it.

Regardless of what function is being performed, the system can be

accessed through any IR receiver. For example, it is not necessary

to point the programmer at the daylight sensor being programmed if

a keypad provides more convenient access.

Keypads and IR receivers have LEDs that blink when programming

messages are transmitted.

If the device does not receive the signal, move closer to the device

or adjust the angle of the programmer. It is also important to ensure

that the programmer battery is charged and has enough strength to

transmit the signal to the device.

NOTE: Occupant sensors do not have integrated IR receivers.

Typical Programming Workflow

Following is the typical workflow needed to program a new

EcoSystem when it is installed. This guide includes detailed

instructions for each programming step.

11 AAddddrreessss tthhee ssyysstteemm..

Begin by addressing the ballasts using the

EcoSystem programmer. This enables the programmer to

communicate with the ballasts and configure their settings.

22 CCoonnffiigguurree ffiixxttuurree ggrroouuppss..

Next, configure the group of fixtures to

be controlled by each device (IR receiver, daylight sensor, wall

control, occupant sensor, or contact closure). A group can be as

small as one fixture or as large as the entire EcoSystem bus.

33 SSeett uupp ddeevviicceess..

Once fixture groups have been configured for

each control device, set custom preferences for each device.

44 CCoonnffiigguurree bbaallllaasstt sseettttiinnggs

s..

To further fine-tune the system,

customize the high level and emergency settings for the ballasts.

55 CCoonnffiigguurree ccoonnttaacctt cclloossuurreess..

To allow EcoSystem to integrate with

third-party systems, configure contact closures on the bus supply

to specify occupancy/vacancy settings, select scenes, or

respond to peak demand.

66 PPrrooggrraamm bbaallllaassttss ttoo sseeaassoonn nneeww fflluuoorreesscceenntt llaammppss..

Program the

ballasts to operate at full intensity before dimming. New

fluorescent lamps can have impurities which can impact their

dimming performance. Follow the lamp manufacturer’s

recommendations on lamp seasoning requirements.

Refer to the following topics for detailed procedures on how to

perform each programming step.

Programming Guide 11

How an EcoSystem® Bus Prioritizes Inputs

When programming a system, it is important to understand how the

ballasts prioritize inputs:

11.. EEmmeerrggeennccyy ccoommmmaanndd ((ttyyppiiccaallllyy lliigghhttss ttoo ffuullll oonn))..

The ballast’s first

priority is to ensure that no emergency exists in the building. If an

emergency exists, all emergency fixtures are automatically set to

their emergency level and all manual lighting adjustments are

ignored. If an emergency does not exist, the ballast proceeds to

the next level of priority.

22.. PPrrooggrraammmmiinngg ccoommmmaannddss..

The second priority is to respond to a

user programming the ballast. If programming commands are

being sent, the ballast responds to the commands, but ignores

any sensor or control device input. If no programming commands

are being sent, the next priority is queued.

33.. DDaayylliigghhtt sseennssoorr

iinnppuutt..

The third priority is input from daylight

sensors. The daylight sensors are checked to set the “high level,”

or the maximum light level the ballasts can be manually set to.

44.. OOccccuuppaannccyy sseennssoorr iinnppuutt oorr ppeerrssoonnaall ccoonnttrrooll tthhrroouugghh IIRR rreemmoottee oorr

wwaallll ccoonnttrrooll..

After checking the daylight sensor, the ballast waits

for the occupant sensor to detect a person in the room or for

input from a manual control. Manual control inputs come from

users dimming the lights up or down with a wall control or IR

remote. The lights will go to the level requested by the

occupancy sensor or personal control that last changed.

12 EcoSystem® Programmer

Addressing the System

Prior to programming, each ballast must be addressed. This enables

the programmer to communicate with the ballasts and program their

settings.

14 EcoSystem® Programmer

Configuring Areas

Areas allow a number of fixtures and their associated sensors to be

quickly grouped together. If fixtures are added or removed from an

area, sensors within the area are automatically assigned to control

them, overriding any preexisting grouping in the area. If multiple

daylight sensors are in the area, only one is assigned. Once

created, areas can be modified through the normal sensor grouping

means. Any area can be configured from any IR receiver. It is not

necessary to directly access a sensor within the area being created.

From the Main Menu, tap

18 EcoSystem® Programmer

Setting Light Levels for Daylight Sensors

To save energy, a light level can be set for each row of fixtures in a

daylight sensor group. Throughout the day, fixtures automatically

adjust their light level based on how much daylight the space is

receiving. Light levels can be set from any IR receiver. It is not

necessary to directly access the sensor being set.

NOTE: Group fixtures before setting light levels. Refer to page 16.

From the Main Menu, tap

If all fixtures go to minimum

brightness and a fixture

connected to a daylight sensor

flashes, tap .

Scroll to the daylight sensor to

be set (its group fixtures will

flash). Then tap to

configure the selected sensor.

If fixtures in row 1 of the

selected sensor group go to

full brightness and all other

fixtures go to minimum

brightness, tap .

By default, all fixtures initially

grouped to the daylight sensor

are in row 1. Up to 4 different

rows are supported in each

daylight sensor group. It is not
